Реферат: eng: The Bureya Massif is located in the eastern segment of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) and its tectonic affinity and Precambrian evolution is highly controversial. Here we present mineralogical, whole-rock geochemical (major and trace elements and Sm–Nd isotopes) and zircon Hf isotopic data, together with zircon geochronological and mica 40 Ar/ 39 Ar dating of the biotite and amphibole gneisses from the Tulovchikha metamorphic complex (previously considered as Archean or Paleoproterozoic basement) in the Bureya Massif, in order to investigate their protolith, metamorphic and deformation ages, petrogenesis, and tectonic implications. LA-ICP-MS U–Pb dating of magmatic zircons from the biotite gneiss, the amphibole–biotite gneiss, and the amphibolite yields single zircon age populations cluster at ~950 Ma, ~920 Ma and ~940 Ma, respectively. The narrow zircon age ranges, together with the morphological features of the zircon crystals and the geochemical data, indicate that the studied metamorphic rocks have a magmatic origin and their protoliths were formed in the early Neoproterozoic (i.e., 950–920 Ma). The consistent formation ages further suggest that the Neoproterozoic gabbro–granitic rocks within the Nyatygran Complex in the Bureya Massif probably represent the protolith of the studied metamorphic rocks. The biotite and amphibole-biotite gneisses of the Tulovchikha metamorphic complex yield whole-rock Nd model ages (t Nd(DM) ) of 2.4–1.5 Ga and Hf zircon crustal model ages (t Hf(C) ) of 1.7–1.2 Ga, indicating that the precursors of the Tulovchikha Complex gneisses formed from the reworking of Meso–Paleoproterozoic rocks or mixed Neoproterozoic juvenile and Meso–Paleoproterozoic crustal sources. Considering that the Bureya and Jiamusi massifs experienced similar Neoproterozoic magmatic events, we suggest that these massifs form a contiguous crustal unit and share a common geological history. The rocks of Tulovchikha metamorphic complex in the studied area experienced epidote-amphibolite to amphibolite facies metamorphism probably in the early Paleozoic, as evidenced by the 471 ± 19 Ma age of a metamorphic zircon with a low Th/U ratio (<0.1). According to 40 Ar/ 39 Ar biotite dating of the biotite gneiss, the Tulovchikha Complex experienced a youngest thermal event at 227 ± 3 Ma. This event may be related to the final closure of the Paleo-Asian Ocean, or may have been caused by the deformation of the blocks of East Asia in connection with the initial stages of the closure of the Mongol–Okhotsk Ocean. © 2019 Elsevier B.V.
